BURRRR - It's getting cold out there!
 

Envoy Fellas,

ORD/LGA can get cold - tips for staying warm AND out of the CPO?

The new MH overcoat stinks. Baggy, uncomfortable, heavy, sucks to tote around. If we hate it what are our options?

Anyone tryout the new A Cut Above sweaters?

I’ve always been able to get by with the leather jacket and a sweater under it if needed.

A scarf and some gloves doesn’t hurt.

:-)

Does nooone believe in tailors anymore?
They have guys and girls out here that will turn a Van Hussen Aviator xxxl parachute into a Cut Above quality blouse for $5-10 bucks.

The Cali sweater from A Cut Above is the way to go.

Life changing trick.

100% wool base layers (medium weight) and socks. Big investment but life savers. They keep you warm and you wont get too hot in the cockpit. They regulate body temps extremly well. I use smart wool base layers and good high quality socks. Also, wool can be worn for extended periods (4 days) without having to be washed.

I just saw on the 'A Cut Above' website this sweater/jacket.

It looks similar to the Twin Hill sweater we used to have. Just hope the zipper lasts longer, as this is not a cheap garment. I might buy one and report back.

Looks nice, but did you see the estimated shipping date? December, 10th.

Yeah that’s a ways away.

There once was a filthy rumor that if you wore a sweater you didn’t have to wear the blazer. I actually looked in FM1 and didn’t see that. Anyone have any truth data on that?

Granted it says I should be wearing the twin hill uniform (sigh).

Perrone leather jacket for the win. Warm and comfy. Pop the collar for chicago walk arounds.

I’ve heard that as well and have seen people only wearing the sweater. But I haven’t seen in writing where it’s allowed.
